Tricare insurance requirements

"Proof of Previous attempts for non surgical treatment of obesity"

Ok guys, what does that mean? I have Tricare North Prime Remote.

Also required are 8 outpatient behavioral health visits. How long should that take? (How often do those visits usually happen?).

The proof of attempts means you attempted to lose weight previously....I had documentation of talking with my PCM about my weight, increasing exercise, joining Weight Watchers, etc.

I can't help you with the question about OBH visits...8 seems excessive. I have Tricare Prime in Western Region and I'm seen at a military treatment facility. I had 2 required OBH visits, one to fill out a LONG computer inventory and the other to meet with a psychologist to discuss the results.

Well, I've been seeing my PCP for several years, and she has always counseled me on my weight (documented). Wonder if that qualifies...

I'll see her tomorrow. Guess we'll see!
